The Scotsman

An inspiratio­n

-

Wilko Johnson was told in 2012 he had eight months to live. Instead he lived another ten years – during which time his legacy as one of Britain's most influentia­l guitarists (pub rock, punk and old school rhythm and blues) with Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury and the Blockheads was secured with a Top 3 album with Roger Daltrey.

His legacy as an inspiratio­n against adversity will hopefully last as well.
